In the late 1990s, it was apparent from statistics on HIV/AIDS prevalence in the cities and towns along the road transport corridors from East Africa to Southern Africa, that the pandemic was being spread by the road transport industry along these corridors. There were many projects and programmes aimed at fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the region at that time, but few were directed at the road transport industry.
